Hockey is generally a sport for white kids. It always has been. If this game is going to expand beyond that, they can't have an ignorant old white man (who is supposedly one of the most respected hockey personalities around for some reason) rambling about "you people" on national TV. It's ####ing embarassing, honestly. If he had ranted about people in general not wearing poppies, I wouldn't care. But he had to single out immigrants.
And then there were his comments about the Sabourin injury last weekend that were just terrible. Brushed off one of the ugliest injuries we've seen in a while by saying "he just got knocked out, no big deal". That shouldn't be acceptable either with what we know about brain injuries now.
The guy is a dinosaur, he doesn't contribute anything positive to the TV presentation, or quite frankly the sport in general anymore. He's done, get him off the air.
